Blended Learning Through Storytelling
CHALLENGE: This isn’t so much a challenge as it is an opportunity to deepen learning. The story supports the objectives of a blended learning program for apprentice distribution controllers at an electrical utility. Although it takes place in a futuristic setting, it directly connects to the real-world technical and soft skills required in the role. It also serves as a motivational element within the training, offering rewards that participants can redeem in the company store.

Game Mechanics and Gamification
INTRODUCTION
This simple game has a retro feel and mimics the arcade games of yesterday. The interface is clean and simple to focus on the content while allowing for game mechanics that encourage recall and retention.
CHALLENGE: Utility workers need to be able to identify hazard symbols very quickly. While job aids are helpful, they're not always present when needed. This safety training included an exploration of the hazard symbols and game mechanics, and gamification was utilized to present the information and to support successful recall.

Professional Skills
CHALLENGE: Program participants for this technical theatre training program were struggling when attending work calls. Employment partners and the participants themselves identified that they needed help understanding how to be prepared for a work call, be successful during a work call, and allow these work calls to lead to future employment. This is a combination of in-person training and eLearning.

Managing the Cognitive Load
CONCEPT
At the start the learner knows exactly what the content of the eLearning will be. The learner has access to the source document from the state at all points throughout the eLearning. The animated video background helps to set a low-stress energetic mood.
CHALLENGE: Food services workers are required to understand health and hygiene standards for kitchens throughout NYC shelters. The imformation can be extensive and overwhelming. By focusing on key points and making the information discoverable through interaction, workers can retain key points without having to wade through long detailed documents.
